Why?
How many English people learn how to write Yoruba properly

We will soon ban English

The Arabs in africa have African survival mentality, they are eager to escape poverty and ready to give extra in order to make it.

African countries are almost the same, it's only the color that makes the difference.

They are not Arabs at all. They are Arabic speaking countries but they are not Arab people ethnically
That is the starting point they were conquered via Jihad and that is how Islam and Arabic language spread in the region
You have ethnic groups like Berbers, Tuaregs Many call themselves Arabs now but they are not really Arabs
Even Sudanese people call themselves Arabs but it is a long conversation
Bottomline is you find real Arabs in Saudi Arabia, UAE,Qatar Oman Bahrain Yemen

They tend to use other Muslim countries like Egypt, Syria, Jordan etc for clout and numbers but prefer not to marry them or grant them citizenship
That is an Islamic agenda
Genetically which is what would address athleticism, they are not Arab

Morroco, Tunisia and Egypt national teams is far better than UAE, Syria, Qatar, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq etc in football and sports generally.

AFCON dey demand much from them and over time they kept on improving unlike in the middle east mediocrity competition.

I don't know when you'll stop poke nosing into people's opinion. You'll drop your own and nobody cares to quote you, but you'll always want to do notice me under someone's opinion as if the person is using your phone or data to type whatever he or she typed. Rest you this thing on this forum.

SmartPolician:
I think too much reliance on petrodollars made the Arab world of Asia extremely unproductive and uncreative, affecting their ability to compete in games too.

The only thing saving the Gulf world is that they have leaders who are genuinely committed to fixing their countries. Most of the skyscrapers in the Middle East were built by American and European companies.

How is the your comment related to the topic? And you call yourself "smart".

ImpartialGuy:
From Ronaldo to Messi to Ronaldinho, what inspired many of the best footballers in the world to become extremely good at their craft is that they want to escape poverty. To achieve that, they sacrificed pleasures and personal time, and they subjected themselves to rigourous training.

But when you come from a country where the government practically pays everyone salaries and buys you a house like it's done in Qatar (thanks to too much money from oil and gas sales), why would you deny yourself all these things to be outstanding at sports?

Why is common sense a scarce commodity on this forum?

You don't need the last paragraph. You're bigger than that.

1. The African Arabs are closer to Europe in terms of bilateral relationships. And so a good number of North African Arabs have imbibed a lot of the European culture which also includes football. You can see that North African teams play like Europeans.

2. The competition from the Sub-Saharan nations is massive and that has always kept the North African Arabs on their toes. Morocco with all their exploits at the World Cup has not won the AFCON since 1974. This is a testament to how competitive the game is in Africa.

3. North African teams have generally invested more in football development than their Asian Arabs counterparts.

The reason why African Arab countries Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt except Libya is far better than their people in middle East is that those middle East they spend all of their lives on war and jihad

It's all about commitment and dedication. Stop struggling comprehending my comments

Who are more nationalistic than Arabs from the gulf and levant? Are d Chinese and Japanese not dedicated to their nation? Why don't they beat the Germans, Italians, Spanish and French or Brazilians? If capacity or organization is not there no level of commitment will win u anything. Try to comprehend the question

DeJoeee:

Iran has the best football team in the Arab league,no North African team can defeat them.

There are many factors but let me mention a few.
1. Historical and Cultural Influence:
Football has a long history in Africa, particularly in North African countries like Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia, where the sport was introduced by British colonialists. This early exposure helped establish a strong football culture. In contrast, some Middle Eastern countries have traditionally focused on other sports or developed football infrastructure later.
2. Investment in Infrastructure and Youth Development:
Countries like Morocco and Egypt have invested heavily in football infrastructure, including stadiums, training facilities, and youth academies. These investments have helped develop young talent and improve the overall standard of football. Some Middle Eastern countries are also making significant investments, but the impact may take time to reflect in their performances.
3. Participation in International Competitions: African Arab countries have a strong tradition of participating in international football competitions, such as the Africa Cup of Nations and the FIFA World Cup. This exposure has helped their teams gain experience and improve their skills. Middle Eastern countries, while increasingly competitive, may have less experience in these high-stakes tournaments.
4. Coaching and Talent Development:
The quality of coaching and talent development programs can vary significantly between countries. African Arab countries have produced some excellent coaches and developed strong programs to identify and nurture young talent. In contrast, some Middle Eastern countries may still be building their coaching expertise and talent development systems.
5. Passion and Support:
Football is extremely popular in many African Arab countries, with a passionate fan base that supports local teams and national squads. This enthusiasm can drive success by creating a competitive environment and encouraging young players to pursue football careers. Middle Eastern countries also have passionate fans, but the level of support and enthusiasm for football can vary.

These factors contribute to the differences in football performance between African Arab countries and their Middle Eastern counterparts. However, both regions have talented teams and players, and the gap is narrowing as football development initiatives continue to grow across the Arab world and Africa at large.

U too should also read and digest it very well,the Arabian less football active he mentioned are like the lazy untalented children born with silver spoon which are the crude oil and golds,that's why only what they can do now is to buy and bring footballers to come and entertain them

helinues:
Is it Christianity that limits USA talent in football?

His post said Talents in general, not just football talents.

List and compare inventions and discoveries by the Christian world and the other side.

The advancement of the Arabs was more before islam came.

Islam is a limiter.

Football is not about imbibing European culture
People just concoct all kinds of theories without Research or knowledge

Firstly North Africans are not Arabs
Once we establish that the conversation is over
They are Arabic speaking just like most South Americans are Spanish speaking they are not Spanish
Before the Islamic conquest they had a very distinct identity
They are mainly Berber and Tuareg in their ethnicities
Egyptians are NOT close to Europeans they are also. NOT Arabs

One problem I see is mental laziness
Somebody throws a theory and you roll with it without questions

The question is

ARE NORTH AFRICANS ARABS.?

Then

What or who is an Arab

India and Pakistan are close to Europe but they prefer cricket
They are not excellent in athleticism
The key elements are
The right genetic material I.e. athletic genetics
Interest of the population
Investment
We in Nigeria have the first two
Compare to East Africa we are not closer to Europe in Nigeria than Kenya , Ethiopia

Football is played on a 100 metre field
West Africans can run very fast for 100 metres
Kenyans can run for 10 kilometers
They are not good at football compared to us

How is Morocco Tunisia and Egypt doing well in footbal than Iran?

This a good insight, I think you can open a thread on the bolded lets separate the facts from fiction. We need intellectual discussions on this forum to chase a away agbado urchins who will find it difficult to contribute. They have chased away too many intelligent folks from here with their online agberoism

ufotunang:
..it's because Morocco, Egypt, Algeria have been playing football for a long time ago..many years ago those African Arab countries started playing football....at that time UAE, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq , Qatar had not yet started playing football yet.....it's just of recent UAE, Qatar, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq just started playing football and trying to be perfect in it..the football.. .so you cannot compare countries that have started playing football many years ago to countries that just starting playing football of recent.. started playing football a few years ago
And another reason is majority of Morocco, Egypt, Algeria players play in European foreign league and also play in top clubs in Europe and UEFA champions league....but Qatar, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, UAE many of their players do not play in European leagues or top clubs in Europe ..So another reason why the African Arab countries are more better than the middle east counties in football

Who told you North African nations starred playing football before Iran?
It is like saying Southern Nigeria started playing football before northern Nigeria the reason why South have more talented footballers than the north.False.
Look very well it have everything to do with religion.

Warmaterial:
you're talking without fact, google Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco and Mauritania.

you're the one talking without facts.

In Qatar....they see footballers as the "Poor folks"...the wealthy (even the average) ones only go to watch and cheer.

Oga, I don't want to go so deep with you on this "Arab" matter because the topic is football related. You really need to go back and do your research properly. 70 to 90% of the people living in the North Africa are ARABS. Yes there exist some other ethnicities (notably the Baberians, Maghreb and ancient Egyptians) that were conquered by the Arabs but they are only minority populations today.

MAJORITY OF NORTH AFRICANS ARE ARABS. Please do your research well before Start insulting others.

If we listen to each other with respect and humility there will be no conflict
At best we agree to disagree
Do you have a working definition of who or what is an Arab

If we don't have that we are going round in circles

You are making assertions about who is majority today

It is like saying majority in Northern Nigeria are Fulani
What is this based on. What defines an Arab?

If we don't have that let us not waste each others time


The majority of North Africans are INDIGENOUS to North Africa.
There was never an ethnic invasion of Arabs into Africa. Genetic studies in Egypt have demonstrated this repeatedly


As far as I am concerned there is a difference between an Arabic speaker and an Arab person
I am an English speaker, yes we too were conquered since you used that word I am not an English man
Egyptians were not conquered by Arabs you are just making things up

tesseract:
Very wrong answer oga. Their lack of game prowess is not due to their weakness. They are not weak oh, some of these guys have seen war more than some of the countries in Africa, some are still fighting, so nor be weakness.

Which wars Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Oman have fought that made them poor in sports? Even, Sudan, an African Arab with internal wars just defeated Nigeria in CHAN championship.
Very wrong, abi? If not oil wealth, tell me which of Nigeria past or present footballers of repute that come from wealthy family?
